Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Our friends at Vice magazine warranted the following tweet, on October 13th, from no less an authority than @rupertmurdoch: "Who's heard of VICE media? Wild, interesting effort to interest millenials who don't read or watch established media. Global success." Indeed it is, and that's partly because they produce terrific content, such as this from the McAfee virus chap, sorry, John McAfee, the former software engineer who is now a fugitive in Guatemala.

It's an amazing story, and this video - from their "Fringes: Stories from the Edge" series - is worth watching.
